Support the hood in its open position and place some cardboard or rags beneath the corners by the hinges. Disconnect the windscreen washer pipe from the hood. Mark the location of the hinges with a pencil. With the help of an assistant, unscrew the nuts and withdraw the hood from the car. Refitting is a reversal of removal, but adjust the hinges to their original positions so that the hood is level with the surrounding bodywork. If necessary, the front of the hood height may be adjusted by screwing the striker located beneath the hood in or out.
